Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

"Higwen!"

The clear call pierced through the endless rain. The small white figure in the distance seemed to pause for a moment, but did not turn around, and then left in the opposite direction at an even faster speed.

His doubts grew even stronger. Ignoring the shattered porcelain on the ground, Mu Feng immediately rushed into the torrential rain, chasing after the small white figure that was receding into the distance, braving the downpour.

The petite Siegwen was no match for Mu Feng, who was anxiously chasing after her. After crossing the small alley in front of the coffee shop, Mu Feng's figure appeared not far behind the little nurse.

Knowing she could no longer escape, Siegwen slowed her pace. Mu Feng's keen perception greatly surprised the little girl, completely disrupting her plan to leave quietly.

At this moment, a long-suppressed voice seemed to slowly awaken within her, constantly urging her to give up resistance and pour out everything to the figure before her.

But she couldn't do that.

Biting her lower lip tightly, suppressing the urge to rush into Mu Feng's arms and vent her grievances, Xigewen, feeling guilty, still made the decision not to acknowledge Mu Feng, so as not to bring her Mu Feng brother a series of troubles again.

Hoping that Mu Feng wouldn't recognize her in her current human form, Siegwen subtly lowered the brim of her hat, turned around slowly with her head down, forced a standard smile, and deliberately answered in a different voice than usual, "Hello... sir, I think you must have mistaken me for someone else..."

no answer.

Silence enveloped the empty street. The surrounding shops had long since closed, leaving only a few dim streetlights casting a faint glow. All around, the only sound was the pattering of the rain hitting the street.

Hisewen didn't even know how she managed to speak; the voice sounded so unfamiliar, as if it came from another distant world. The instant the words left her mouth, she felt a chill run through her body, as if uttering those words had drained all her strength.

A deathly silence. It was as if the torrential rain had made the air as heavy as iron, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The young nurse was experiencing a complex and conflicted feeling.

Her appearance has undergone a complete transformation; the image of the former Meilushin is nowhere to be found. Coupled with her deliberate disguise, even Mu Feng, who spends every day with her, would likely find it difficult to recognize her identity.

But the more certain she was, the harder it was for Siegfried to suppress the bitterness in her heart, and the stronger her desire to rely on others became. However, the last shred of reason she had left made her try her best to maintain a forced smile so as not to give anything away.

It felt like an eternity had passed, and there was still no response.

Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Siegwen secretly raised a sliver of her gaze, wanting to secretly observe Mu Feng's reaction. But the moment she looked up, she met Mu Feng's pained gaze.

The moment she met Mu Feng's gaze, Xigewen knew that all her pretense was nothing but self-deception, and she had never been able to fool the figure in front of her even once.

Even though her appearance had changed and she was dressed in disguise, making it impossible to recognize her former self, her brother Mu Feng still recognized her with unparalleled accuracy in the vast crowd, without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

Does it really matter whether someone is human or Melusin?

Higgin had asked this question countless times, but had never received an answer.

But at this moment, she knew that in the eyes of the figure before her, there had never been any difference between her human appearance and Melusin's face.

Higewen's carefully constructed facade of strength crumbled instantly, and her suppressed emotions burst forth like a flood, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks, mingling with the torrential rain as they fell.

"I..." Siegwen lowered her head deeply, stammering and unsure how to speak. But before she could finish speaking, she was gently enveloped in a warm embrace, shielding her from the biting cold rain falling from the sky.

Mu Feng gently pulled Xigewen into his arms. The rain and mud on the little girl soaked through Mu Feng's clothes, but Mu Feng didn't mind at all.

Without asking about the reason for Siegwen's changed appearance or her unexplained departure, Mu Feng simply soothed the slightly trembling little girl and whispered in her ear:

"Don't be afraid, Siegwen, let's go home."

Gentle words rang in her ears, and Siegwen could no longer control her emotions. Her ruby-like eyes filled with tears, and she buried her face in Mu Feng's arms, sobbing softly.

Ultimately, little Siegfried was just an ordinary girl at this age. The sudden loss of her teacher, the critical illness of her friend, and the days of running around and treating her had already left the little girl physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, having completely let down her guard and no longer needing to pretend to be strong, Siegwen finally stopped suppressing her emotions and let tears stream down her face, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had been holding back.

Mu Feng didn't offer any words of comfort, but gently patted Xigewen's back, letting the little girl's tears soak his shirt.

Perhaps her mind and body had already reached their limit. After crying for a while, Siegwen gradually fell asleep in Mu Feng's arms, her slightly red eyes still bearing faint tear stains.

Mu Feng sighed softly, gently picked up Sigwen, lowered his upper body to shield her from the damp and cold rain, and then walked quickly towards the coffee shop.

……

"Teacher... potion..."

Siegwen slowly opened her eyes from her sleep, her short, sky-blue hair disheveled, and her small, pink-blue ears resting obediently on her pajamas, looking somewhat half-asleep.

She looked around at her surroundings with a bit of a daze. The bright room, the clean bed, the quilt with cute patterns, and the sweet aroma of pastries in the air all reminded Siegwen that this was no longer that dilapidated old hotel, but the home she had always longed for.

"Higwen, are you feeling better?"

Mu Feng sat down by Sigwen's bedside with a bowl of freshly warmed sweet milk. He touched Sigwen's forehead with concern, scooped up a spoonful of sweet milk, blew on it gently, and then tested the temperature before feeding it to the still somewhat dazed Sigwen.

Siegwen instinctively put the spoon in her mouth, and the warm, sweet milk gradually dispelled her hunger and cold, instantly bringing a happy expression to Siegwen's face after she had been asleep for a day and a night.

"Brother Mufeng..."

Sigwen called out to Mufeng in a soft voice, gently nuzzling towards him with a hesitant and troubled expression.

Mu Feng gently ruffled the little girl's light blue, messy hair, then fed her a full spoonful of sweet milk, softly comforting her, "It's okay, Sigwen."

"Before reminiscing about sad things, let's eat something first."

Siegwen obediently stopped talking and quietly accepted Mu Feng's feeding, her beautiful ruby ​​eyes filled with affection.

After finishing her milk, Siegwen explained the whole story to Mufeng without holding anything back, but since the origins of the potion and the strange illness were unknown, the little guy only mentioned them briefly.

When she said that she had violated the laws of Fontainebleau, Siegwen's eyes dimmed instantly, her small hands gripping the corner of the blanket turned slightly white, and after a moment of silence, the nurse cautiously suggested to Mu Feng that she wanted to leave as soon as possible to turn herself in, so as not to implicate Mu Feng.

"Well……"

Before she could finish speaking, Siegwen received a light tap on the forehead. The little girl covered her forehead with teary eyes, pouting as she looked at Mu Feng in confusion.

Mu Feng withdrew his hand, then gently rubbed the little one's forehead with a hint of pity. He gently pulled Siegwen into his arms, pinched her chubby cheeks, and gazed intently into her bright ruby ​​eyes, saying:

"Higwen, don't always think about shouldering everything by yourself."

"Regardless of the outcome,"

"I will stay with my little angel."
